Well guys, I REALLY need help. Could barely make it home tonight, already know my ball joints were out but I go for a ride tonight and wasn't even off roading really, do a donut and turn around and I go to straighten and everything is almost locked up feeling, barely turns. My friend thinks it's the power steering or control arm or front arm of some sort, and I don't really have ANY money right now. My tires are getting low too and I'll need to change those, it's like Wtf!
Anyways, any ideas what happened? Tight turn to basically no steering, I can't turn 90 degrees, only about 45 with cranking the **** out of it. ;(
I can't drive it on the highway and can't really park it in my or any drive way, so I have to get it fixed asap.
More and more I'm leaning towards a car but it's like Wtf, I don't mash anything real hard and have got damage and now this from basically nothing. So Pissed.
I want to have it looked at tomorrow 4/21 but like I said no money right now, just got out of a temp job and started working for a guy but it's not picking up yet. And I NEED cash and an idea of what's wrong so I know approx how much it's be at a good price not some dealership bogus fix,m ripping me a hole in my wallet.
Power steering? Control or mechanical part similar?
Thanks in advance. Have been totally stoaked at how my trucks been and now poop, feelin low again with her, not good. As I said looking more and more towards a car but ****, I love trucks, espcially Dodge Ram, nothing I'd rather have.
Any info will help a lot, my other buddy said he thinks the front arm (whatever it's called sorry, not to knowledgeable yet) and he thinks that's why but its ridiculous how hard it is to turn, it's like trying to lift the truck.... Sad night, future day. . No money. **** out of luck right now.
